Anyone had experience with it?
I've read a little and so far all I can tell is it comes on with maybe a headache, temp, achy body, like a flu.
My 4 year old has all of the above this morning, no other bugs going around the house.
All he wants to do is lay in bed and listen to his books on cd. That is NOT him at all.
We diligently bug spray the kids every time they go outside, but as bad as the stupid mosquitos have been this year, sometimes they slip in the house.... or a kid slips out without a spray. I can't help but be a little paranoid.
Can anyone calm my fears?

Hi SQ - My Grandson just had similiar symptome - Lyme was suspected. It is a great time for it. Hs he been outside a lot? I think that I read that your kids are out of school now and I see some woods in your garden pix.

The test for Lyme is not conclusive, but the Dr. Will usually start the antibiotic immediately. My grandson showed improvement in a day or so. If it is Lyme and you catch it early you should be OK?

Aww, Suzie, he's probably just got a bug, but I know why you're worried. It scares me to death when one of my kids gets sick! It's because we love them soooo much! As far as West Nile, we have it down here although it's very rare. The symptoms start out like a regular virus but they progress rapidly and include mental confusion rather quickly. Motrin would not help at all so if he's up and about, I'd say the most likely things is a regular old kid virus. But give him a kiss from me and a big hug to you, mama!
